This 1966 BMW R27 is powered by a matching-numbers 247cc single paired with a 4-speed transmission and reportedly received a mechanical refurbishment from BMW specialist Bench Mark Works. The bike is said to remain largely stock aside from a Mikuni carburetor, which was recently cleaned along with installation of a fresh battery. This R27 was purchased in 2011 by the seller, who has since kept it as part of a large collection and ridden it only 20 miles. It is sold with a clean Indiana title in the seller’s name.

The tank and fenders are finished in traditional black with white pin striping and show signs of age-related wear. A dent is pictured on the top of the rear fender as well as paint loss on the headlight shell. Features include a Pagusa sprung saddle seat, tank-top tool box, and frame-mounted air pump.

The front suspension is an Earles fork leading-link swingarm setup, while the rear uses a traditional swingarm that incorporates the enclosed driveshaft. Braking is from drums at both ends.

The 247cc overhead-valve single was rated at 18 horsepower in stock form and is paired with a 4-speed transmission. The engine is rubber-mounted to reduce vibration and induction is from an aftermarket Mikuni carburetor. A mechanical refurbishment was reportedly carried out by BMW specialist Bench Mark Works, while more recent maintenance performed by the seller’s personal mechanic included a new battery and carburetor cleaning.

Chassis number 383018 is shown on the data plate above, and matches the engine stamping in the gallery below. No service records are available.
